🔬 Supercritical Fluid Phase Thermodynamics & Density Modeling

Supercritical CO2 Density & Cycle Time Solver

Model high-pressure supercritical $\text{CO}_2$ fluid thermodynamics: fluid density ($0.75\text{--}0.96\text{ g/mL}$), extraction vessel basket capacity ($120\text{ kg}$), solvent-to-feed ratios ($26\text{--}35\text{ kg CO}_2\text{/kg}$), and clean solventless botanical oleoresin yields.
